Case Study: IBM Instana achieves secure, compliant cloud access with Teleport

How IBM Instana uses Teleport to manage access to their cloud infrastructure

IBM Instana, a multicloud, cloud-native observability and APM company, needed a secure and compliant way to manage access to sensitive infrastructure at scale. As the team grew and remote work increased, its existing combination of VPNs and shared credentials became difficult to control, audit, and maintain for tools like Dropwizard while still meeting standards such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, and ISO.

Teleport implemented a centralized access solution for IBM Instana, giving the team access control, audit logging, and a simpler workflow for engineers through a single platform. With Teleport, Instana eliminated VPNs and certificates for many use cases, achieved a full chain of audit custody for previously un-audited workflows, and made compliance audits much easier and more painless.
